Several authors in the past have considered nasal anthropometry to be one of the best clues to racial origins and also of gender differentiation. The purpose of the present study was to analyze the presence of sexually dimorphic morphometric parameters of the nose in the adult Mewari population of southern Rajasthan. The study involved 1000 adult Mewari volunteers, 500 males and 500 females, with their ages ranging between 18-50 years. A total of ten parameters were recorded by direct anthropometry, of these ten parameters analyzed, significant differences between man and women were found in seven of them. The data thus assimilated by the above study, reinforces the need for such nasal morphometric parameters in our populations, which are useful in various disciplines of medicine and surgery like rhinoplasty, facial reconstructive surgeries and forensic anthropology.&#13;
